Yeah see this is worse than the original ending where a young man comes to grips with his problems and is congratulated for it by supportive family members and friends.

the original ending to the show is perfect. replacing those two episodes with storyline stuff is a travesty meant to placate the mundane, who imagine the show is literally about giant robots, rather than an extended and deranged expression of individual suffering. god forfend some dork deign to have feelings.

I agree somewhat. Those episodes definitely give the show meaning, but I did like watching the world end in End of Eva.

I've always taken the core story of Evangelion about the courage it takes to be a person, separate, with the unending pain and conflict that can cause.

Shinji, and humanity, are given the false serenity and apotheosis of merger, but the real path to spiritual growth is the neverending separation and having to contact others through that chasm in understanding that existing as a separate entity entails.

Technically, it works with the qabalistic imagery of Evangelion: the ultimate serenity and wholeness offered to Shinji is what Seele thinks of as Kether, the world before manifestation. But Kether actually translates as "the circular path", being the path without end. When the Seele leader, while dying, quotes from the Sefir Yetzirah, saying "The Beginning and the Ending Meet in the Same Place", he misses the point entirely.

Back in my day, all we had was Evangelion ReDeath, and we liked it:

Also, my favorite part of Eva is the fact that during the End of Evangelion, there are frames of actual real-life hate mail, death threats, and vandalism on the Gainax Studio.

Tbh i always felt they fit well together. Back when i originally watched nge my friends told me to watch the series up to the last 2 eps, watch eoe, then watch the last 2 eps. I did that and thought it worked well because essentially they coverex the same thing but from a different perspective.

its my favourite animes because the creator actively hates his audience and spends a lot of time and effort trolling them. Like how a lot of weebs wanted a NGE that was just straight monster v robot fights without the extensional analysis of the self and the questions of the inherent nature of human loneliness in an interconnected world so they made a new series that was one movie of that then 2 movies of complete and utter loving nonsense, one of which is like an extended discussion between two characters and not really much else.

also its got that cool rear end penguin so

edit all the alien stuff is from some psp game too i don't think its really "CANON" but then nothing is in this show so
